...gender and ethnicity in the hindukash...

Early morning adventures in the Blue house: over breakfast, we were talking about the words we mispronounced when we were young. I always had trouble with "uncomfortable" and I still have trouble with "melancholy" (I blame Billy Corgan for that by the way). Janet's word was epitome, and we mentioned hyperbole as another tough one. Then Daniel mentioned that he read the entire Narnia series thinking Lucy was pronounced "Lucky".

In the ensuing burst of laughter, Kristen spat her cereal (correction: water) almost clear across the living room.
